It’s Been Four Years. How Ready Are We for ‘Stop the Steal 2.0‘?

We strengthened our election system against some of what Trump tried in 2020, but there are still holes.

Depending on how tight the vote count is, the Trump camp is betting that if any of the cases get to the Supreme Court, the 6–3 majority might hand him the election. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/how-ready-are-we-for-stop-the-steal-2. #ElectionIntegrity #Votingrights #StolenElections #MAGAelectioninterference

Thinking about white men in Georgia of all ages

Yes, there are #2georgias. Both of them have elections, the outcomes of which could decide the faith of an entire continent, both have to do with human rights and immigration. In both, plans to steal the elections have surfaced.

However, this video from last year gives me the feeling that in only one of them men are ready to stand up for women.

Jury finds former Milwaukee election official guilty of obtaining fake absentee ballots

A jury has found a former Milwaukee election official accused of obtaining fake absentee ballots guilty of misconduct in office and fraud. The jury returned guilty verdicts Wednesday on all four counts. Prosecutors charged Kimberly Zapata in November 2022 with one felony misconduct count and three misdemeanor counts of election fraud. A criminal complaint says Zapata was deputy director at the Milwaukee Election Commission in October 2022 when she obtained three military absentee ballots using fake names and Social Security numbers. She sent the ballots to Republican state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, an election conspiracy theorist. Zapata said she wanted to expose real flaws in the state elections system. She faces up to five years behind bars.

I was an election observer in several Russian elections (and always managed to press for a fair count at my polling station). Here is a short nerdy thread about the counting process in Russian elections and how they are manipulated.

Following the 2020 #election, I admit to having stuck my head in the sand. I didn’t want to pay much attention to all the ridiculous haranguing about #stolenelections and other #politicalrhetoric.

Before supporting Donald Trump, read Liz Cheney's memoir, 'Oath and Honor,' the Jan. 6 committee findings and the DOJ indictment. It changed my mind.

Y’know “overturn” or “interfere” doesn’t quite do it—sounds much too civilized!

In contrast to every single one of his predecessors, trump tried a naked power grab worthy of a third-world, banana republic, tin pot dictator!

How about we say trump tried to “STEAL” the 2020 election, using a multi-state, multi-pronged effort that ultimately included fomenting a violent & deadly attack on the seat of US government!

Brazilian hacker claims Bolsonaro asked him to hack into the voting system ahead of 2022 vote

A Brazilian hacker claims then-President Jair Bolsonaro asked him to hack the country’s electronic voting system to expose its alleged weaknesses ahead of the 2022 presidential election. Walter Delgatti Neto did not provide any evidence for his claim to the parliamentary commission of inquiry Thursday. But his testimony adds further pressure on the former far-right leader. Bolsonaro is being investigated for his role in the January riots in the capital city of Brasilia and has been barred from running for office until 2030. Police also alleged earlier this month that Bolsonaro received cash from the sale of two luxury watches he received as gifts from Saudi Arabia while in office.
